A woman in Spain has been arrested after allegedly using her own mother’s dead body in a failed plot to hide her drug dealing business.

The unnamed woman is accused of wheeling out the dead body of her mother and then pretending she had died while in the middle of a walk – with the stunt intended to be a ruse to fool cops out of discovering her illegal business.

The alarm was raised when a doctor concluded the 63-year-old mother had died earlier than her daughter and son-in-law had claimed, sparking an investigation.

And when police arrived at the home of the woman and her husband, they discovered evidence of marijuana being prepared for sale.
